How to Create a Membership in Systeme.io
Today, I am going to walk through how to set up memberships and communities in Systeme.io. This question came up in the Systeme.io Facebook community, so let's break it down
Understanding Memberships in Systeme.io
In Systeme.io, a "membership" isn't a standalone feature. Instead, it's a combination of features that create a membership experience:
- A paid subscription plan
- Access to a course (optional)
- Access to a community (optional)
You can set up any combination of these to create your membership offering.

- Click on "Create a Community".
- Name your community (e.g., "Tech Gremlin Warriors").
- Set up the URL path for your community.
- Choose whether your community will be public or private.
Managing Your Community on Systeme.io
Once your community is set up, you can:
- Create topics for discussion
- Invite members manually (for free access)
- Set post approval settings
Remember, only admins can create topics, but members can create posts within those topics.
Creating a Paid Membership in Systeme.io
To make your community or course a paid membership:
- Go to the Funnels section in Systeme.io.
- Select or create an order form.
- Create a new digital product for your membership.
- Add resources to your product (course and/or community access).
- Set up a price plan (e.g., monthly subscription).
Setting Up the Price Plan
When creating your price plan:
